Ok so the idea goes like this:We use kilo(bit/byte, etc) as measurements of rate, and size – even weight (kinda).

I thought it’d be fun to come up with another terminology that’s right in line with the nature of these units of measurement geared toward server load: “R” for request – prexed accordingly: Kiloreq, Megareq, Gigareq, etc.

So for example, if you get 1000 requests a second, you can say “I get 1KR/sec”, if you have 500 request per second, instead of ‘500 rps’, use the standardized “KR” (Kiloreq) suffix: 0.5KR/sec
